"to have more time on the scenarios, pause the game.but be aware at how much
money you spend. you can also delete trees and rocks for more money." - brittany
"Try and put a lot of flower beds. I know that you are probably thinking "but
it wastes space!" but actually it makes guests happier. Also try to squeeze as
many exhibits into your zoo and try NOT to waste space by putting in lots of
picnic areas etc." - $ugakitty

Easter Eggs
Easter eggs are surprises that you may or may not run across as you play. Many
of these are date-depended, but pay attentionsome relate to the in-game date
and others to the real-world calendar.
On September 15 on the in-game calendar (the date of the signing of the
contract between Microsoft and Blue Fang for Zoo Tycoon), a biplane with the
Microsoft logo flies across the map pulling a banner with the Blue Fang logo.
On their own turf, penguins are capable of killing pretty much any
animal in the zoo.
Guests entering the zoo on January 1 (New Year's Day) on the in-game
calendar may be sick.
On October 31 on the real-world calendar, all guests and buildings wear
orange and black in honor of Halloween, a jack-o-lantern is available from the
buildings and items menu, and a wicked witch flies over the zoo on a broomstick.
On October 31 (Halloween) on the in-game calendar a witch flies over the
zoo on a broomstick and a jack-o-lantern is available from the buildings and
items panel.
On Christmas (December 25) on the in-game calendar, Santa Claus flies
over the zoo in his sleigh.
Secrets are sort of a combination of the two, and are mostly just for fun.
